Host was very accomodating. Location is perfect for city functions. Close to beach and the rooftop pool and spa were a great escape.

It was nice and close to shopping and restaurants. We used Uber to get around Honolulu and having the covered drive through access allowed us to be brought right up to the door. The front desk agents were very friendly and helpful. It was really great to have the kitchen to make some of our meals. The instructions for everything we needed were very through and definitely helpful.

You know, I liked the Pacific Monarch quite a bit. The room was clean and bright with tall windows facing both the beach and to the side. Everything was clean and neat and I used a couple of K-cups in the kitchen. We mostly ate out but used the small dining room set a couple of times.We used the hot tub on the roof a couple of times as well as the pool. Plus, it was an easy two-block walk to Waikiki Beach.The only knock I have is check-in and the parking situation. The sign for Pacific Monarch is past the garage so I drove by the garage entrance while trying to figure out where to go. Once directed, we had to go around the block to the garage and only then did I see the "guest parking" spots. OK, fine, that's a one-time thing. But then every time you want to enter the parking garage, you have to get out of the car and ask the front desk to open the gate. There doesn't appear to be a sensor or camera to notify them; you have to leave your car and ask. We started taking taxis because we didn't want to deal with the parking gate and Oahu traffic.One suggestion I would make to the Host is to add a small shoe rack, or shoe mat, plus a small bench to sit and take off your shoes right inside the door.Otherwise, we were very happy with this VRBO and would rent there again. Mahalo!

In the heart of Waikiki, close to everything, minutes from the sand. Great view of the ocean and mountains. Fully stocked kitchen and bathroom. Comfortable bed and there are beach chairs and umbrellas. The lanai was spacious and a perfect place for meals. The elevators were fast with hardly any wait time. Only critique, shower/bathtub could be updated. Would recommend to friends and family. Thank you for a great stay.

The place was clean, very nice view, communication with Lani was great. Check in process was easy. The place is small and outdated. It served its purpose but a bit on the pricey side for what it offers. I have stayed in cheaper places in Waikiki that were larger, more updated, with parking included and washer/dryer in the unit.

Building wise, it is a very convenient location, easy to walk to lots of places including the beach. The rooftop pool/hot tub/cornhole area was really nice, too. The elevators are extremely slow in the building though there are signs posted that they are working on upgrading them. Parking onsite is expensive and the parking garage in the building is a tight space, so best to get a smaller sized vehicle.The unit itself is on the 13th floor and has beautiful views. The photos of the unit make it appear more spacious than it feels and the kitchen area is very small. The dining chairs felt and sounded very unstable, like they might break while we were sitting in them. The shower area is in need of caulking/repair and we could not figure out how to make the tub fill, so our kids took showers instead of baths.There were lots of pool/beach items provided in the unit that were useful - towels, snorkeling gear, chairs, boogie boards, etc. The owners of the unit also own a restaurant a block away, so they are available and local.

The beach view was spectacular! And while this can fit 3 adults, it's a better property for parents and their kids. The bathroom is small and the water pressure almost painful. But the kitchen was well stocked, the balcony peaceful, and really, you're getting this location for the room which cannot be beat!

The views were pretty good for where we were staying. Communication was also clear and pretty prompt. Only thing negative was you couldn’t leave your luggage at the front desk so had to pay a hefty price tp store it and get it to the room was hard. Couldn’t leave it at the front desk.

Amazing view. Easy access to beach. The Pacific Monarch is a well-run and high quality building. Mayu was easy to contact and very responsive. The rooftop amenities are very nice. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. (Thank you for the welcome treats).

We've stayed in many different places in Hawaii over the years including North Shore House on the beach, Moana Surf Rider, Outrigger, and other condos in Waikiki. As far as Condos, this was by far the best. Its an older building and unit, but as a top floor corner condo with a large linai with awesome view, windows on two sides, it felt spacious and airy. The elevator was generally fast with direct access to the garage, and the walk to our favorite spot on the beach super close. Would absolutely return.

I’ve been to Waikiki probably 7 times and I usually look for the same thing, a good deal. Therefore I wasn’t expecting amazing or perfect, this place had great pics of the pool and the room looked very nice. It wasn’t terrible but I probably wouldn’t stay again. It feels weird to spend 1250 and then immediately have to go buy toilet paper because you weren’t left enough. I was thankful that they had basic body was and shampoo/conditioner. The couch was not comfortable for chilling and relaxing in the living room but I later learned that it was a pull out couch so that makes sense and is probably worth having. I would have appreciated more towels as we’d packed intentionally to not have to do laundry. We did appreciate the few beach items on the lanai. The pool vibe was off to me. One day it was freezing cold in the hot tub which was disappointing (but not the hosts fault). We picked this property because of how beautiful the pool looked, but didn’t go in at all. They didn’t have the waterfall feature running and diners from off the street have access to come back and eat at the restaurant at the pool making it less private or special. It also felt like cleanliness was overlooked. On the first day we saw what looked like blood by the bed on the floor. Mold spots on some of the furniture. Unable to turn on a lamp in the living room and couldn’t get one of the AC remotes to work (dead batteries?). Something that could’ve helped us is being able to text a host if we needed to.

Responsive and helpful communication from the host. The studio was spacious, airy, and nicely decorated. Being on the 8th floor was nice, giving the space a more open feel away from street level. The location on Kuhio Avenue is also very convenient for getting around Waikiki. Overall a very comfortable place to stay.

Had an amazing week for my babymoon! Unit was very clean and the kitchenette was perfect to make breakfast every morning. We really enjoyed the living room plus 1 bedroom (since I’m an early-bird and my husband like to sleep in lol). AC worked perfectly and the blackout curtains made for a good nights sleep. The pool area is beautiful. The place was just a few minute walk to the beach. We lucked out and were able to park our car in the parking lot the whole week which was incredibly convenient and much cheaper than the surrounding parking garages. I lived on Oahu years ago so I knew beforehand how close everything in Waikiki is to each other, so when it was time for me to book a place to stay - I didn’t want to break my vacation budget staying at one of the fancier hotels knowing that there were great options one block away. I’m happy I took a chance on this unit, I would 1000% book again if and when we come back!

Reviewer Comments:
I have visited Hawaii several times and have stayed at a variety of hotels and condominiums around Waikiki. This time, I chose a vacation rental at Pacific Monarch, and overall it was a very comfortable and satisfying stay.The location is definitely one of its strongest points. Waikiki Beach is within easy walking distance, and there are plenty of ABC Stores, restaurants, and shops nearby. Being able to step out and quickly get whatever you need makes getting around Waikiki stress-free and convenient.We stayed in a high-floor unit, and the view was beautiful. During the day, you can enjoy the open city scenery, and in the evening, the atmosphere becomes calm and very “Waikiki-like.” Because of the view, we found ourselves spending more time relaxing in the room than we initially expected.The room itself was clean and well maintained, with a pleasant overall atmosphere. One thing that stood out was the stylish lighting. In the evening, it created a warm and relaxing mood, giving the space a slightly hotel-like feel while still being a condominium. It wasn’t flashy, but it felt thoughtfully designed and comfortable.Having a kitchen was also very convenient. Being able to prepare a simple breakfast or keep drinks and fruit chilled made the stay more flexible and relaxed, especially compared to eating out for every meal.The rooftop pool and jacuzzi were nice for unwinding between outings. They weren’t overly luxurious, but they were rarely crowded and easy to use, which made them enjoyable in a quiet, low-key way.The building itself is not brand new, so those looking for the latest luxury hotel facilities or full service may find it a bit simple. However, considering the location, room comfort, and freedom that comes with a condo stay, the overall value is very good.All in all, Pacific Monarch is an easy and comfortable choice for enjoying Waikiki without overthinking thing

Room was clean. Location was great. Staff was friendly. My only complaint was there is very limited storage for clothes. Only had access to half the closet and part of that was taken up by vacuum, broom, etc. Other than that, the place was nice and couldn't ask for better location for the price.

We had a nice stay at Bamboo Waikīkī. The room had a good balcony and a very comfortable bed. We were mostly out enjoying the island and really only used the room to sleep, but it did exactly what we needed it to do. Clean, comfortable, and a great location. We would stay here again.
